and thank you for being here on video i think you're

going to enjoy what we're going to talk about for time

immemorial going back to several hundred years before christ the greatest

minds of all time have focused on answering the question why is it

that some people are more successful than others all the work

of socrates was around the subject how shall we live in

order to be happy what are the keys to wisdom

and goodness in life plato also wrote about the same subject how should live how should we organize our lives

and our families and our societies aristotle and all throughout history the great philosophers

and metaphysicians and mystics the great religious teachers and preachers

and the best writers have all looked at this question what

can we do in order to be happy to be more successful to have more of the things

that we want would you like to be financially independent you

say of course would you like to be financially independent yes

why aren't you why aren't you financially independent you're making one

of the best livings in the history of the world living

in the richest country in the history of the world why aren't you a little bit financially independent

and you know what you say well i can't my bills

are too high my taxes are too high my costs are too high my this my

that my the fact of the matter is there are people who come over here with nothing from foreign countries

and save every single thing that they make

and live on half of their income

and 10 years later working at laboring jobs they've got 20 50 100 people working for them

and they're financially independent why it's

because they had no limitation our limitations exist within our own minds

and the worst of all is we feel helpless second reason

why people stay where they are illustrated by the story of speedy the rat

speedy the rat is put into a cage

and off the cage there are four tunnels and speedy is kept hungry

and in the mouth of the fourth tunnel down here a

little bit of cheese is put speedy is dropped into the cage

and speedy is hungry smells cheese around here somewhere

so starts doing a search searches around a little bit tries

the first tunnel second tunnel third tunnel finds the cheese at the fourth tunnel eats the cheese

and is happy take speedy out keep him out for 24

hours he's hungry again put him back in mouth his cheese is in the mouth of the fourth tunnel

and speedy goes a little bit familiar he does a search

process comes to the first tunnel second tunnel third time there's the cheese in the fourth tunnel by the third

or fourth day you can put speedy in the cage

and he'll go right to the fourth tunnel

and get the cheese once speedy conditioned they take the cheese

and they move halfway back this tunnel about three feet deep

with the tunnel by which i mean about three feet or three inches around

and speedy comes running in rushes to the fourth tunnel no cheese looks around backs up counts

goes

and explores sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff

sniff sniff smells smells cheese net fourth tunnel finally explores

and finds the cheese well in a couple of days speediest

condition to drop into the cage go straight to the fourth tunnel halfway back

and get the cheese and

so then they move the cheese to the back of the fourth tunnel

and of course in no time at all speediest condition go choo choo

and get the cheese then they take the cheese

and move it to the back of the second tunnel but there's no cheese at the end of the fourth tunnel

and we'll begin exploring the other tunnels

and we'll eventually find it at the end of the second tunnel

but human beings with this incredible brain will keep going down

the fourth tunnel forever they will keep doing what they've always done they will get into a rut

which we call a comfort zone they will set a series of habits

that are not serving their best interests

and they will keep on with those habits and they'll keep doing things

that no longer make them happy that no longer give them any cheese

and they will keep doing them year after year and we find

that almost everybody today all of us too consciously

and unconsciously is held by these twin pillars these twin bindings of helplessness on the one hand

and habit on the other is

that we try to free ourselves from uh feeling helpless

and we fall right into an old comfort zone where we

get out of the comfort zone we get right back into feeling helpless the only way

that we can achieve our true destiny is to break the shackles

that are holding us and the answers to both of them are confidence

and courage courage

and confidence the greatest single limitation on success in america in the world today is lack of confidence it's not

that we can't do it we have capacities and abilities beyond anything

that we have ever thought of in our whole life you know

if you used your talents to the full for the rest

of your life you would never even use a fraction of

what you're actually capable of based on all the research that's

been done we are right now functioning according to stanford brain

institute with about two percent of our brain power two percent

the rest of this huge this huge reserve of brain power

which we're kind of keeping there in case we ever need a little you know we got

so much of it it's unbelievable well

so i said to myself what is what is the key here

and you know what there's a common denominator of helplessness

and habit and the common denominators are fear and ignorance fear

and ignorance we're afraid we're afraid it might not work we're

afraid we might fail we're afraid it might cost us something we're afraid of criticism

and embarrassment we're afraid of failure and loss and limitation

and lack and ill health and disapproval we're so afraid the things

that we would do if we weren't afraid are literally beyond belief

and we're afraid of getting out of the comfort some but

because of what they might say what

if we did something different change jobs change careers started a

business got into something else what would they say do you

know i was listening to a psychologist talking the other day

he says nobody's ever been able to define who they are

but it's they out there it's the great almighty they that's

100

got us terrified you know it's a true statement we say

101

that when you're in your 20s you don't care what people think

102

and when you're in your 30s you're very sensitive to what people think

103

and then you get into your 40s

104

and in your 40s you realize the great truth is

105

that no one was ever thinking about you at all

106

and that's the fact nobody ever thinks about us at all

107

and there we are we're so terrified of doing what you really want to do

108

because of what they might say or think so we stay in

109

that comfort zone now all successful people are those who consciously are aware

110

that the self -doubt that holds most people back is something

111

that they are heir to as well and they're alert

112

and sensitive to it when a person says why don't you do this

113

or why don't you do that they have a tendency to say well I can't

114

because of this

115

and I can't wait a minute there's a story of a little boy goes to school for the first time

116

and the teacher says do you play a musical instrument he said I don't know I haven't tried yet

117

if you ask an adult you play a musical instrument what

118

will the adult say no I can't no never could don't

119

have him tone -deaf don't have any musical ability at all

120

you know every child has perfect pitch up to the age

121

of five to every child has the ability to play classical music up to the age of five.

122

The Suzuki musical training systems have demonstrated that.

123

You can start teaching kids classical violin at the age of three.

124

Just when they can barely move their hands, they can start to play.

125

It's phenomenal, yet most of us believe, I can't, you know, I don't have it, I can't do it.

126

Our natural tendency is to sell ourselves short.

127

Our natural tendency is to think of the reasons why we can't before we think of the reasons why we can.

128

So the key to breaking ourselves out of the comfort zone

129

and breaking ourselves loose of the shackle of helplessness is courage

130

and confidence we neutralize the antidote to fear and ignorance is desire

131

and knowledge and the more we learn about what we want to do

132

and be and have the more we believe

133

that we can do it the more we believe

134

that we can do it the more willing we are to try

135

and the more willing we are to try the more likely

136

it is we will succeed what is the first part of

137

triumph the first part of triumph is to try a little

138

simple one -liner now this is what i found what's

139

if somebody came to that elephant

140

and said mr elephant you don't have to stay here you

141

can do anything you want you're the biggest animal in the world

142

that little thing can't hold you all you have to do is pop loose

143

and you can go he said no no no i've been stuck here for years

144

and every time i'm tied up i stay here why well

145

because of this and because that's a habit you know i'm i can't

146

and i can't i wish i would i wonder whoa i'm

147

too tall i'm too short i'm male female young old educated uneducated

148

so what we say is look just try just try the very thought of trying something new

149

or different is traumatic for most people all right i'll try it all right pop

150

and the elephant thinks my god i've been tied up

151

and made to work like a slave all these years

152

and that's what's been holding me and the elephant gets mad

153

and goes looking for its owner now what do you call an elephant

154

that gets mad

155

and goes looking for its owner you call it what a

156

a rogue elephant that's right now each one of you has the capacity to be a rogue elephant

157

because you know something there's nothing holding us back except the limitations we have in our own mind

158

that elephant is in reality unstoppable and the most important goal

159

that you can develop the most important quality or characteristic

160

that you can develop for happiness

161

and success is to be unstoppable yourself is to think of yourself as unstoppable

162

and you know how you become unstoppable it's by the basic

163

psychological behavioral development principle of simply saying it to yourself

164

because whatever you say to yourself and believe over

165

and over again you start to believe as a reality you start to walk it

166

and talk it and act it

167

so what you say is i am unstoppable i'm unstoppable what

168

it is i'm unstoppable nothing will stop me the greatest of

169

all qualities to guarantee success is the absolute willingness to go at anything

170

and refuse to stop until you achieve it 95 of the goals

171

that you set for yourself you will achieve

172

if you refuse to quit starting point is just to simply

173

say i am unstoppable say it say i am unstoppable now

174

say like you mean to get your thumbs out of your mouth

175

and say it like you mean say i am unstoppable

176

once more i am unstoppable yes now from now on whenever you see a barrier

177

or wall or you think of anything you want to do

178

or be you say wait a minute here i'm unstoppable nothing stops me

179

and you know something you will develop yourself to the point where nothing does

180

cause and effect going right back to what we talked about mental attitudes

181

and personality are determined by things that we do

182

and there are certain things that you can do consistently every single day

183

and in so doing them you'll build your self -confidence up

184

and up and up to the point where you become unstoppable

185

and these are very simple things and they're practiced the most successful men

186

and women men and women who were

187

so terrified they could not lead silent prayer in a telephone booth at one time

188

and they built themselves up to the point where they're not

189

afraid of anything by working on themselves just like a weight

190

lister built up muscles you can build up character personality

191

and strength and tenacity and desire and knowledge and courage

192

and confidence by working on yourself and

193

so i'm going to give you now are the 12 key principles practice by all high achieving men

194

and women very easy to learn very easy to practice don't cost anything As a matter of fact, what I would ask is that you try them, just a little tiny bit,

195

and you'll get results out of all proportion to the efforts you put in.

196

First of all, a starting point of great accomplishment is to dream big dreams.

197

Number one, dream big dreams.

198

Let your mind float free.

199

All really exceptional men and women dream big dreams.

200

They allow their minds to float.

201

They think of what they could be and what they could do and what they really, really want.

202

Here's an exercise for you.

203

Take a piece of paper later on and right at the top, dream list.

204

then make a list of all your dreams

205

but what about this what about

206

that no decide what's right before you decide what's possible don't decide well we can't afford this

207

and we couldn't do

208

that we got stop stop stop that's helplessness that's habit that's

209

these old negative habit patterns holding you back before you even

210

decide what you want most people are figuring out why they

211

can't have it what you do is you say wait a minute

212

if i had no limitations

213

and this is the key you dream as though you had

214

no limitations nothing's holding you back imagine you have all the

215

time all the money contacts all the education influence you have everything going for you in the whole world

216

and just simply decide these are my dreams

217

and write them down project yourself into the future say where

218

do I want to be in five to ten years

219

if I could design a perfect life

220

so my life was perfect in every respect my relationships my

221

income my work my family my health my home my car

222

what would it be this is the starting point of great achievement

223

because what will happen is that if you can clearly define that target, you can hit it.

224

You eventually always hit the targets that you set for yourself, but you can't hit a target that you can't see.

225

So allow your mind to float freely.

226

Allow yourself to engage in what is called blue sky thinking.

227

Blue sky thinking means you just simply imagine you have the whole blue sky above you and no limitations, and then you write it down.

228

And then you think and ask yourself this question.

229

What one great thing would I dare to dream

230

if I knew I could not fail what one great thing would you dare to dream

231

if you knew you could not fail imagine you were absolutely guaranteed of success in any one thing big

232

or small long term or short term in the whole world what would it be

233

and write it down now

234

that doesn't make your heart pound a little bit faster than maybe somebody should nudge you with their elbow uh

235

because you're probably not alive or awake the fact is that

236

when you start dreaming big dreams you know what happens is

237

your self concept goes up your self -esteem goes up the very fact that you allow yourself to dream big dreams

238

causes you to feel better about yourself see yourself better think of yourself better

239

and it starts the process of making yourself unstoppable you become unstoppable people with big dreams

240

that are absolutely they're absolutely committed to are unstoppable human beings it's people with little dreams

241

and no hopes and no plans beyond tomorrow

242

and next week these are easy people to stop but people that have big dreams to make wonderful lives for themselves

243

they're phenomenal tell how close you are it may be near but it seems so far so stick to the fight

244

when your hardest hit it's when things seem worst

245

that you must not quit and if you don't quit and

246

if you keep on keeping on then you must you will become unstoppable yes thank you very much

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
